Hi,
I own an HP h4350 Pocket PC. I have a 256mb chip that I use to store music
on. I would like to know, how does the sound quality of this unit compare
with the sound quality of the MP3 players out there, such as iRiver iHP or
iPod players. Thanks.
My experience with the Tungsten T (after patching it for the early sound
bug, just to be clear) was that it was tolerable with bad headphones,
but not nearly so much with good headphones- the sound quality the unit
could produce was just not that great, but it wasn't as noticeable with
bad headphones. At anything other than too-low volume, it only got
worse (probably a decent outboard headphone amp could solve that, but I
carry enough gadgets already).
With the iPod, the difference is significant- any reasonable volume the
iPod plays with aplomb, never mind the vastly superior interface, faster
song transfers, faster charge times, longer-lasting charge... For me,
it was very much worth it.
